WILLIAMllUGERSHOFF, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

ATOMIIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,190, dated February6, 1894. Application filed December 19, 1893. Serial No. 494,066. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM HUGERSHOFF,

I a citizen of the United States, residing in the city, county, andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inVaporizers, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved vaporizerwhich is simple in construction, efiective in use and especially adaptedfor vaporizing heavy fluids such as oils and the like.

- The invention consists in the combination with a nozzle containing aplug having an aperture through which a jet of air can pass upwardly, atube extending from said plug down into the liquid and having a curvedtip extending over said air aperture and an inlet aperture in said plug,which aperture can be closed by an upwardly closing valve. The nozzle isprovided below said plug with a laterally projecting neck on which atube can be applied that leads to an air-bulb having a single opening. 7

The invention also consists of the construction and combination of partsand details as will be fully described hereinafter and finally pointedout in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of my improvedvaporizer. Fig. 2 is avertical longitudinal sectional view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The nozzle A which is preferably made of hard rubber, is shaped at itslower end so as to fit snugly in the neck of the bottle B containing theliquid to be vaporized. The nozzle B has a lateral projecting neck 0with which the compressible air-bulb D is connected, said bulb beingentirely closed, with the exception of the opening through which the airpasses in and out of the neck 0. The nozzle has a longitudinal bore inwhich a hard rubber plug F is placed and secured above the neck 0. Saidplug has a fine aperture G extending from the bottomsurface to the topand at the upper end of said aperture a tip H is formed on the top ofthe plug. The liquid supply -tube J passes through the plug F, in whichit is secured and extends down'and into the liquid to be vaporized, andits upper end is curved to form the vaporizing tip K, directly above thetip H. The plug F is provided with an aperture L which can be closed byan upwardly seating valve M therein, which valve is prevented fromdropping out of the aperture by a pin N,-passing through said aperturebelow the valve. Ordinarily the valve M is in lowered position,permitting the air to pass through the aperture L into the bore of thenozzle A and from the same through the neck 0 into the bulb D.- Bycompressing the bulb D the air is compressed in the same and forcedthrough the neck 0 into the nozzle A, through which it passes into thebottle and exerts a downward pressure on the surface of the liquid. Atthe same time a jet of air under pressure passes up through theapertureGin the plug F and issues through the tip H. In passing the endof the tip K, of the liquid supply-tube J, it createssuction in saidtube whereby a quantity of liquid is drawn up through said tube J fromthe bottle and is vaporized by the jet of air issuing from the tip H.When the bulb D is released, it expands and draws in the air. V Thevalve M which was raised by the compressed air while the bulb D wasbeing depressed, now drops and permits the air to pass through theaperture L to the bulb. At the same time air is drawn in through the tipHand aperture G, and so on.

This vaporizer is not merely a suction vaporizer but acts by pressureand suction as the pressure of the air on the surface of the heavyliquids, such as oils, assists in raising the liquid in the liquidsupply-tube J. The

vapor produced passes out through the top of the nozzle A.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent The combination, with a nozzle, of a neck projectingfrom the same, of an air compressing-bulb connected, with said neck,which bulb is closed entirely with the exception of the aperture, bymeans of which it is brought in communication with the neck, a plug insaid valve and located above the neck, which plug is provided with anaperture extending from top to bottom and through which a jet ofcompressed air can pass, a liquid supplytube secured in and passingthrough the plug and having its upper end bent up above the said air jetaperture in the plug, an additional aperture extending through the plugfrom top to bottom, an upwardly closed valve 5 in said aperture and aretaining pin passing through the aperture below said valve,substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

WILLIAM I'IUGERSIIOFF.
